  • Alexandr, inhabitant of Daugavpils, Latvia pictured on the street of the city on 13.11.2014.  Latvian city Daugavpils is the largest city in the European Union inhabited by Russian-speaking population. <br />
<br />
The situation of ethnic Russians, who make up 40% of the population of the Baltic countries, is difficult. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia after independence granted citizenship only to those who were (or whose ancestors were) the citizens of those countries before the Soviet occupation in 1944. <br />
Due to this only in Latvia about 500 000 Russians are without citizenship, since most of these do not want to learn Latvian, nor adapt to a new country with new rules.<br />
Today, there is a growing tendency to accept passports, offered by the Russian government. Some do it for financial reasons, because pensions in Russia are higher than those paid by the Baltic countries. Others take passports for political reasons. Everyone is talking ‘we are left alone by European Union’.<br />

<br />
VALENCIENNES, a small cafe<br />
<br />
Pierre Forrett, a mechanic, unable to find accommodation in Thionville, where he worked, rented a furnished room there, leaving his wife and a child in Valenciennes, under the care of his parents. When he came to see his wife during the Easter, he encountered his brother, living in the same household. A quarrel swiftly followed. The mechanic tried to avoid the fight with all his willpower, however, it became a fact commonly known in the whole village. When Piotr met his brother in a local cafe the day after, he asked him to settle their problems outside. <br />
Their started to quarrel again. Jan's wife joined in, and, in the course of events, a fight commenced and Piotr was beaten to death.<br />
Initially both the brother and the sister in law claimed that it was Jan who administered the punches. However, the autopsy proved that is was the sister in law who dealt the fatal blow with a poker. <br />
<br />
VALENCIENNES, estaminet<br />
<br />
"Maszynista Pierre Forette nie mogąc znaleźć mieszkania w Thionville gdzie pracował, najął umeblowany pokoik w którym mieszkał, zaś żonę i dziecko zostawił w Valenciennes przy rodzicach. W święta Wielkiejnocy przyjechał do żony, tu zaraz między nim i bratem który mieszka w tym samem domu, wybuchła sprzeczka; maszynista chciał jej uniknąć, robił co mógł. Na wsi jednak wszyscy już wiedzieli o tej sprzeczce rodzinnej. Nazajutrz trafił Piotr, brata swego w estaminecie i poprosił go, żeby natychmiast wyszedł z nim w celu uregulowania spraw. <br />
Tu zaczęli się znów kłócić. W sprzeczkę wmieszała się również żona Jana; od słowa do słowa, aż doszło do bójki w której maszynista został zabity. <br />
Z początku brat i szwagierka twierdzili, że Jan bił, ale autopsja wykazała co innego, mianowicie że właśnie szwagierka zadała śmiertelny cios Piotrowi pogrzebaczem."
